Mr. Pacheco to Mr. Blaine

No. 28.]

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your instructions numbered 32, of February 20, and 44, of March 16, 1891, relative to a [Page 66] system of cable communication between Washington and this legation, and to report that I have addressed a letter to the minister of foreign affairs of Salvador requesting a thorough investigation of the matter with a view to prevent a recurrence of the interference with cable communication in the hope that the Government of Salvador will speedily apply a remedy in furtherance of Central American interests no less than of those of the United States.

I have, etc.,

R. Pacheco.
